Folks,
Following various advice, I ordered the stock thinkpad with just
the stock 2GB of memory, planning for an aftermarket upgrade from
mushkin. Lenovo's site said a max of 8GB.
I opened the thinkpad and it looks like the easily-accessible
memory hatch, while covering a large enough area for two DIMMS, really
only has a single DIMM slot underneath. Poking around on the
interwebs, I found a lenovo support page that sort of implies that the
second DIMM must be accessed by prying up the keyboard.
Does this mean that I need to order two 4GB DIMMs, install one
via the access panel on the bottom and one via removing the keyboard?
